[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus presents a child as the model for his
disciples. Jesus lays out for his disciples what is going to happen to him
in Jerusalem, how he will be rejected, tortured, and killed. Oblivious to
this, the disciples are discussing who among them is the most important*. *For
Jesus, the path to greatness lies on the road to Calvary, to
self-forgetting love; for the disciples—and for* *most people of most ages*—*it
lies along the road to ego inflation. *
 *What is the antidote? A child is proposed as a kind of living icon to
these ambitious disciples*. We notice *first *how J*esus physically
identifies with the child, sitting down at his level and placing his arms
around him. It is as though he is saying that he himself is like a child.
How so? Children don’t know* *how to dissemble,* *how to be one way and act
another*.
*They are what they are; they act in accordance with their deepest nature. *

*Why was this story of Jesus’ identification with children preserved by all
of the synoptic Gospels? Somehow it gets close to the heart of Jesus’ life
and message.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
